About
You’ll like The Bank Job if you want a gritty, tense British robbery drama with an emphasis on planning over nonstop action; Not for you if you want fast-paced action like The Town or The Score.
Pros: intriguing heist story; tense robbery sequences; strong lead performance | Cons: uneven pacing; limited action; ending feels abrupt
